Chapter 1089: Asking Ling Tian (1/2)

The trees completely turned black soon enough and the leaves fell off one by one, the vines also started growing thorns that looked completely unnatural and out of place on a vine and started enveloping one member after another as they sucked the vitality.

One of the group members is a fire elemental user who is the first one that managed to break out of the hold, but as the fire spread over the trees and vines they are burning while still going after the group making it hard for the rest of the group members, which made him stop completely.

They could only chop down one branch and one vine at a time to escape from the forest.

Half a day later, they finally came out and the fire elemental user finally let loose as he started burning the forest down.

He is extremely frustrated and the wind elemental user, assisted him in spreading the flames to take out his anger as well.

They are all exhausted.

Even though they tried their best to dodge all kinds of attacks focused on them, they felt extremely dried up because of the vitality that has been occasionally sucked out of them.

They felt like they just fought for a hundred days straight.

They could only bring themselves to check the surroundings before making camp and recovering once again.

And they didn't want to back down yet, because the more traps they encountered the more two of their beliefs were solidified.

One of them is that the other party is weaker than them and that is why they are using the traps and the second is that they are sure that the path they are taking is the correct one.

They didn't know that Sam can see them moving and all their actions, they only believed that these traps are set in the path when they are escaping to their hideout.

While Sam is thinking like that, he saw something else in the surveillance that he left back in the city. Kiran and Vidyut returned safely through the wormhole and they moved to the slums as soon as they did.

They agreed that they will return through the wormhole and move to that spot so that Sam could pick them up. Sam left some surveillance there for that reason.

Sam took one more look at the group that was coming towards them and went to the city through dimensional drifter, and brought the duo back.

They accomplished the task perfectly and they managed to bring some bodies of elites. They worked faster than Sam expected.

It turned out that the administration under leader 1 is a little more flexible and as long one pays the premium price they can hire the elites in the city. They killed them and immediately brought those elites back.

As he waited for the group to continue their journey, he moved out to set up the next trap. It is through a small canyon.

Sam carved out a hollow structure along the length of the canyon and started placing some small liquid energy cell traps. Then he filled the hollow structures with the corrosive liquid mixed with some liquid used for preserving corpses for the undead.

As much as this liquid preserves the dead bodies, it is not pleasant for the living beings to come into contact with this.

As long as the person didn't clean himself properly after coming into contact with it and the cleaning is not just exterior of the body by the blood and flesh completely with their spiritual energy, their vitality will be slowly dripping out.

He set the trap and went back waiting for the people to come.

The next day they did make their way towards the canyon and as soon as they reached, Sam started blasting the canyon walls, they instinctually ran forward as the strange liquid started falling at the mouth of the valley.

They thought that trap might have missed. But as they moved forward, one explosion of another happened with further timing as the rocks along with the corrosive and undead liquid fell on their bodies.

Their clothes dissolved instantly along with the armor and the undead liquid slowly seeped their vitality out and slowly the corrosive liquid started hurting their body in an extremely irritating manner.

They felt like they are being stabbed by hundreds of pins and needles at the same time all the while scalding hot water is being poured on their flesh.

This burning sensation kept on increasing as they exited the canyon and collapsed while rolling around and screaming in pain and they used their spiritual energy to cleanse themselves.

Once again they halted giving Sam time to set up something else that could harass them.

But before he does that, Sam has to do something else.

He visited the store to exchange some heirlooms and also have some talk with Ling Tian.

”So, what is it this time?” Ling Tian asked as soon as he arrived.
